I've purchased and sold a number of items on eBay, but some of the recent action on Contax accessories is quite curious. In recent days GK-54 lens shade caps, a L-100 cable release, even a well-worn G2 Owner's Manual have sold for MORE than the prices available at well-known retailers such as B&H or even from the Kyocera/Contax parts department.
In the instances cited, the items sold for as much as 30% more than normal retail prices. I've found the prices of prime components, bodies and lenses, to be quite attractive. But the action on some of the smaller accessories appears ridiculous. I think I'm going to sort thru all the photographic odds and ends I've accumulated and see if I can enjoy the continued largesse of people who obviously don't bother to check what actual retail prices are.
